Some days my brain feels like a Newton's cradle. Every time it swings left is me thinking I'm quite good at this writing thing and right is me thinking I'm terrible at it. My emotional well being is the middle ball, getting clonked for eternity.

Very upset to hear of Bill Dare's passing. We worked on a lot of shows together during my time with BBC Audio. He was a passionate and funny man. This is a real loss for radio.

Love going back through something I've written and then having to look up a word I used. Past me was eloquent as fuck, but it's Monday and I haven't got a clue what I was on about.

The best part of a birthday is intentionally buying a cake for way more people than you've invited and then eating nothing but cake for three days.

Whenever someone tells me I'm a bit much, I let them know that my surname means Lord of Money. My great-great-grandfather just wanted to sound a bit posher and that's what they went with. "A bit much" is in my DNA.

Update: none of them are excited about Onyx Storm
Going to be in writers rooms for the next week. What are the chances I'll be with writers who are as excited as me about Onyx Storm?

It's wild how many classic sitcom characters have the comedy engine of "they harass women".

I'm on a train for three hours. Does anyone have any questions? I'll even Google answers for you like those old style texting services.

I gave advice to someone the other day and I think I'm going to be embarrassed about that for the rest of time. I can't believe I thought I knew something. So cringey.

When my optician said "your eyes are really healthy", what she meant was "every one of your life choices is good. You're perfect. Change nothing about any of your behaviours in any area."
I already knew, of course, but it's still nice to be told.

The only award I need is the award of being my cats' favourite person in the house. I have lost this award to my husband every day for two years. Please, I deserve this, just this once. I've put so much work in.

I love buses because there are no seatbelts. It's the closest feeling I get to being a rebel.

I did a Christmas food clearance shop today while hungry. Now I've got to eat a whole duck and a gammon in the next two days.

When I tell people I'm dyslexic, they assume I can't read. I can read fine. But my dyslexia means I thought I could fit this black box into this suitcase by just removing a couple of books.

You shall forever be cursed! You shall excel at purchasing sweet, meaningful gifts for those you love. And yet forever your wrapping shall look like it was sellotaped together with your teeth while drunk.

I proposed myself as godparent to two children with the argument "I'm never having my own kids so my presents will always be really really cool and good." Guess who only just now remembered she has two godchildren and has bought them nothing...
